It would be huge if Hall could play this week. He is the key piece to this OL coming together just like last year. But why did Butch backtrack on that- at first he talked like he would play. He usually doesn't say things like that and then backtrack. Usually it's the worse case or no info at all.

We definitely do look better when we go fast. I can't speak specifically for how we run it, but when lots of offenses call in that initial formation and play, if the defense is lined up in a specific way, or if the QB sees that they're still not lined up, then they're supposed to run the play as soon as possible. So in some cases it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, we go fast when we see there's something we can take advantage of, so we end up looking a lot better when we do go fast. The times we can't take advantage of the D, we slow down so we don't look as good.

This makes sense..., I was just thinking if we go fast it forces dobbs to think less and just go play. He doesn't have as many reads or audibles to worry about its go go go and I think that's why he is better

Not off the wagon per se, but this is the most lackluster our offense has looked since Matt Simms was at the helm. Other than a handful of improvised electric runs by Dobbs and three big pass plays, we have nothing. It's not quite Crompton-bounce-pass-Clawfense bad, but it's pretty bad.

3 games makes a trend, and the trend is bad.

You and me are seeing the same thing guess most others aren't

Tenn should not be at the bottom half in most of these categories

Sounds like this Appleby guy is awful. I predict we see the 3rd string guy. They are gonna get him ready to go and put a package together for him. No way McElwain is gonna stay hitched to the wagon of a guy who is both a statue and can't throw.

Umass? Yes but first game and it was half a hurricane so I could let it slide with the improvement the following week

North Texas we beat 32-0 and abused on defense all night moving the ball up and down the field with ease

Uhhhhh....it was 19-0 in the fourth quarter lol...Against North Texas...NORTH TEXAS...Hardly up and down the field.

Are we checkerboarding this weekend?

Supposed to.
Given the number of people I've seen ask, I'm assuming it's going to look more like a melted creamsicle this time around.
Plus they decided to throw in the bonus of changing up the sections. I'm sure this will go over flawless.

So will the crowd be orange and white? Or orange and gray?

If the team is doing smoky grays, it would make sense for the crowd to match them IMO.

My opinion is really neither team can talk ****, both have underperformed but are 3-0, we have a huge monkey on our backs that we need off. If Tenn beats fl, then they beat uga IMO. This game is bigger for Tenn then fl just BC of the streak. Be easy on bigboi, he's a good poster. Go Vols! I think we do finally win, you'll see dobbs running more and that's what the offense is missing...

3 sacks and 1 interception over three games. Not good.

5 recovered fumbles is nice though.

More to do with offenses we have faced. The good sign is despite the sack numbers we are still effecting the QB and giving them some warning shots. We have gotten some big hits on all 3

"We have to get the crowd more into the game on third down." - Butch

I'll agree, hasn't been as loud on third down first two home games.

- P Brown



Say what you will about 3rd down for what. It was a bit cheesy. But It often got the crowd loud.

If on the first important 3rd down for UF the stadium played "Third down for what," the crowd would lose it haha

I said there will be turnovers to a guy who predicted you would have 5 we would have none

Callaway is one of the best wr in the conference goolsby is one of the best te and Powell, swain, Hammond are solid also

At rb Scarlett and Perine might surprise u they are ballers

Your defense down 2 of best makes UF's far better jmo but we absolutely loaded at DL, LB, DB

Might actually give bammer a run for their money this this year with guys like anzalone and zuniga emerging

Your RBs suck azz...... Those WRs are nothing outside of Calloway and Goolsby.

DL- No one can match us upfront. We are flat out loaded and deep.

LB- Florida has an advantage with our injuries.

Backend- Your CBs are your advantage our safeties are better. Abernathy is a flat out DOG and Kelly Jr. can easily do what Maye does.

Offensively we are better than you at every position group. That O-line is garbage and will be exposed by a REAL D-line.

We are waiting on you all! Let's GO VOLS!!!!

McElwain on Callaway...

“We’ll try to get Callaway back,” McElwain said. “He’s hurting pretty good.”

“I don’t know whether he’ll play or not,” McElwain said. “I will never play a guy that’s not ready to play. That’s not fair to that person. That’s how much I care about our players. I’m not going to put a guy out there on half a leg. Life is too short, and there’s other guys who will step up and play."
